OBTS: the Teaching Society for Management Educators,  an organization “dedicated to innovative teaching and learning in the organizational and management sciences,” recently named its Distinguished Service Award for Susan Herman, KSC professor emerita of management, who died last year in June.

In 2006, Prof. Herman received the OBTS award, which will now be known as the Susan J. Herman Distinguished Service Award.

Joan Weiner, Chair of the OBTS Awards Committee, said that “as new people come into the organization, Susan’s story will continue to celebrate her life as well as share the values represented in the Award.”

Prof. Herman leaves quite a legacy and looms large and dear in the memories of those who knew her. The Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies here at KSC established the Susan J. Herman Award for Leadership in Holocaust & Genocide Awareness last year.
